It's a situation of fight or flight and which you choose depends on how you instinctively react to the size and type of threat. I can't imagine what it's like to have shaheds and cruise missiles attacking night after night, or the onslaught being so persistent and so very close that you have to spend the nights sheltering underground.
Ukrainians are very much aware of the Russian threat to their lives and the lives of their loved ones, but do the Russian people in Muscovy, essentially the cities and environs of Moscow and St. Petersburg - felt the same fear? I doubt it. Ukraine doesn't attack civilians but Putin does so with abandon, trying to break the spirit of the Ukrainian people and their willingness to go on. For most Russians, the war is something happening elsewhere, far away.
I recall when Gen. Syrsky took Sudzha, and expecting a major attack on the city of Kursk, the Russians evacuated the city. The residents of Kursk had experienced the war being brought to their vicinity, and I'm sure there was fear. They were no longer safe across the border.
I wonder if the Ukrainian military warned another city to evacuate, and then overnight, before the orcs had the time to beef up anti-UAV defenses, sent in 300 or more drones and destroyed apartment blocs. That would bring the war home to more Russians for a good, long time.
For three years Ukraine has fought a largely defensive war and so when Syrsky went into Kursk oblast people were thrilled, because Ukraine was on the attack. I would suggest that it's time for Ukraine to bring the war home to the Russian people. How else to get them to rise up against Killer Putin and bring an end to the war?
The best comparison of two different kinds of terror ever! If only someone would make a spray to kill war like they do for bugs..... (well maybe they do; It's called bravery). Ukraine has plenty, some of the other nations do too, but we need more to stand up to tyranny to stop the temptation of war.
Fear is a response to the unknown, whether it's something small or large, but it really messes up your body. Please do something to help your body to recover, whatever makes you feel better.
You are a good story teller. Perhaps a short story book in the future? Stay well and keep safe.
Thank you Fran ✨

Thanks Richard!
Captivating. Ironic. Hilarious. Scary as hell. All the elements of a great read complete with deadly cockroaches and boring drones...
Thank you!
